Who, other than Trumby, was trying to be buddies with G-eye-na?

Their govt might suck but they are doing a better job of testing than we are.


And China should always be believed.

Bullshit. China got us into this mess by lying. I know, but NOW they're telling the truth.

HELLOooo. They're socialists. What is it you don't understand?

Do we now have concensus that a significant portion of the high school graduates in the United States could not find China on a map? And that's essentially why Republicans have as much political power as they have

Except the future journalists telling Republicans they're idiots. They can find China and Ukraine etc. on a map. Telling that Pompeo thought anyone with half a brain who pays attention to world politics couldn't find Ukraine. Should have picked something like Bhutan where the person is eyeballing the little ones sort of between China and India and just kind of guesses.

Lol China
The key to this bait is, you must say Chi like you're pronouncing it normally with the emphasis on Chi, but then, you have to serve up the -na but it's NAH with a hard H and emphasis, like Knights who say Nih, but not obviously done on purpose. The ideal is to get that slight Sir Robin reaction out of them, then you just need to concentrate on the straight face.

The only people who ever thought China was our buddy is Mitch McConnel and the billionaires making bank off their cheap labor(Trump).

Changing robes are dumb. Every now and then you drop your towel and some nuns see your church bells clangin' in the breeze, total win.

Spoken like a true West-of-the-Rockies American. Try that sh!t in Gromsdadstan or Newport, RI or Martha's Vineyard or Kennebunkgunkquit. While I agree with you 1,000%, some places I'd be seriously worried about the Karen factor.

Also, once you get North of something like Hatteras or VB, the frequency with which you might be pulling off crazy amounts of rubber in sleet/freezing rain could increase. I am not sure if you have ever experienced "wintry mix" but for anything other than drinking cocoa next to a fire, you want to keep your sh!t dry.

Then there's finger dexterity. Bad enough in December. Forget it in late March.

But yeah if ifallalot wasn't officially a souther before...

One of the main reasons I live right at the beach and only surf local, put on in warm house, take off in hot shower.

do you not drive even in winter?

I used to just hop back in my car and change at home, which was fine when I was driving a trashed POS but then we got new cars and the wife was no longer cool with this approach

with ponchos readily available from CHINA, I decided it was not worth arguing about
